Abstract
The Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is characterized by the change in mesenchymal to epithelial phenotype leads to loss or reduced expression of markers of epithelial cells such as E-cadherin and claudin, and increased expression of markers of mesenchymal cells such as n- cadherin and vimentin, as well as increased expression of the transcription factor twist. The EMT can be induc…
